FOREWORD

On 13th December 2010, Makerere University Council approved the merger of the former Faculty of Technology (FOT) and the Margaret Trowell School of Industrial and Fine Arts (MTSIFA) into the College of Engineering, Design, Art and Technology (CEDAT). During the period of the outgoing Strategic Plan 2000/2001-2006/7 the former Faculty of Technology and MTSIFA successfully implemented various strategic initiatives in the domains of teaching and learning, research and Knowledge Transfer Partnership which led to increased support from our development partners. That period saw a number of achievements made, including introduction of 4 new programmes, introduction of PhD training, development of a research culture, enhancement of international linkages and collaboration among others. There were also major improvements in the governance structure of FOT and MTSIFA. Most of these achievements were made possible by enormous support from development partners. Constraints still remain, particularly inadequacy of space, poor state of laboratories, high staff turn-over and others. The successor Strategic Plan is a consolidation of the strategic plans of FOT and MTSIFA and aims at consolidating these achievements and positioning CEDAT within Makerere University and beyond to meet emerging developmental challenges. During the preparation and formulation of this plan, an all-inclusive and consultative approach was adopted. This approach ensured that the process was consultative and participatory, involving key stakeholders such as teaching and non-teaching staff, student representatives, representatives of key stakeholder organizations including the Uganda Institution of Professional Engineers (UIPE), Uganda Society of Architects (USA), Uganda Institution of Surveyors, Uganda National Association of Building and Civil Engineering Contractors (UNABCEC), Association of Fine Artists, alumni, as well as members from the public and private sector. It is, therefore, envisaged that both the process and outcome of the final Strategic Plan will be fully owned by the key stakeholders. The Strategic plan articulates the mission, the goals and core values of the CEDAT within Makerere University.

With this strategic plan, CEDAT can boldly look into the future as a key provider of the best engineering, design, art and technology resources in the region.

My deepest gratitude goes to all those, who have participated in brainstorming sessions and eventual development of this strategic plan.

1.0 INTRODUCTION This strategic plan marks the beginning of a new era in the history of the former Faculty of Technology and MTSIFA in their union as CEDAT. The new strategic plan 2011-2018 will address not only the core activities of teaching, research and knowledge transfer partnerships but will also endeavour to tackle key cross cutting issues such as quality assurance, ICT, laboratory infrastructure, innovation, human resource development, library services and physical infrastructure as well as gender mainstreaming. The emerging universities within the country and the transformation of Makerere into a collegiate University are taken into account when formulating this strategic plan. Specifically, the strategic plan seeks to address the emerging challenges of national and regional development, including lack of energy, inadequate road infrastructure, water resources management, fast urbanisation, industrialisation and others. The mandate of CEDAT falls within the overall mandate of Makerere University, i.e. (a) the provision of higher education , promotion of research and advancement of

learning; and (b) dissemination of knowledge and giving opportunity of acquiring higher education

to all persons including persons with disabilities wishing to do so regardless of race, political opinion, colour, creed, or sex;

(c) the provision of accessible physical facilities to the users of the Public University The Administrative structure of CEDAT is provided in Appendix 1 and the departments and programmes currently offered by CEDAT are provided in Appendix 2.

1.1 CEDAT In The 21st Century

We are living in an ever changing world. The pace of technological development has increased tremendously with the new advances in ICT. Engineering and other aspects of technology are very much influenced by the new advances in ICT. The professionals we train must be able to work in any place on earth and they should therefore be equipped with the latest knowledge and skills in ICT. Globalisation also means that graduates must be conversant with the ever changing geopolitical situation in the world. They must hence be equipped with knowledge on socio-political dynamics of society. This is the context within which the new strategic plan is designed. The Political, Economic, Social, Technological, Legal and Environmental (PESTLE) study conducted in 2006 noted as follows:

“Apparently, a winning innovation requires taking into consideration the interface

between market needs and the changing environment of art, deign, science and

technology. The concern for the positive impact of innovations in nation development


2

tangibly transforms into close cooperation between research institutes or universities

(the merchants of scientific innovations) and industries (the consumers of those

innovations). This can further be understood to operate under influence of the „science-

push‟ theory which combines science and technology as powerful novelty providers

that lead to industrial innovations. However, as depicted in Fig. 3.2 research findings

show that Makerere University has sizable gaps due to minimal collaboration with

industries in running industrial fellowships, which has somewhat jeopardized

proliferation of significant technological innovations. In a nutshell and as can be

interpreted in Fig 3.2, the following deficiencies surround Makerere University:

Fair levels of science & technology projects‟ collaboration with the private and

public sector;

Fair level attraction of funding incentives towards technological innovations;

Fair rate of adapting science-based academic courses for the market places

demonstrated by performance of respective alumni;

Low priority on budgeting for industrial research and development;

Low output of technological innovations;

Lukewarm dissemination of technological knowledge and innovations towards

technology integration among industries, other potential utilizers and the

general public;

Lukewarm influences on the development of technology innovation and

utilization policies;

Low capacity to influence „hard‟ technology transfer from elsewhere into the

local setting;

Low levels of collaboration with other universities, experts and technological

centers in innovating technology for development;

Inactivity at national, regional and international levels in conducing technology

for development;

Insignificant championing of improvement of products already on the market;

Inadequate initiatives towards reduction in costs of production among

industries;

Inadequacy in creating new scientific or technological knowledge and its

subsequent application in the market place;

Deficiencies in expanding and refining new innovations towards production of

new marketable products;

Low level of collaboration with the National Bureau of Standards in conducting

research studies of significant value of varied fields of industrial activity.

Inadequate link between industrial development and design.


3

However, despite Makerere‟s critical nature of the above state of affairs, 60% of the

stakeholders interviewed were of the view that the potential in these technological

innovations and interaction with industries is huge and that what is needed is to

identify potential areas, prioritize them and effectuate action planning. Such is the

consensus that the next strategic plan needs to keep in full view”.

The new key challenges include search for alternative energy sources, the discovery of

oil in Western Uganda, the ever growing ICT revolution, improvement of

competitiveness of local products and others.

1.2 The Planning Process

This strategic plan was born out of the general framework that was developed after the

university-wide planning workshop held at Colline Hotel, Mukono in February 2007.

Thereafter, departments provided in-put into the strategic plans for the former Faculty

of Technology and MTSIFA, which were discussed at strategic planning workshops in

April 2007. The strategic plans of the two units are now merged and consolidated into

one strategic plan for CEDAT following a number of college workshops and retreats..

1.3 Capability Profile In 1937, Margaret Trowell, the wife of a British medical doctor began informal art

classes on her veranda at her residence on Mulago hill. In 1940, these art classes were

moved to Makerere College when Margaret Trowell took over the management of the

Museum that was housed in the College buildings. In the following years, the art

classes had become popular and there was a need to recognize the emerging talent. In

1948 the first students of the School of Fine Art graduated with certificates in Art

Education. In 1958, the first diplomas in Fine Art were awarded and in the same year

Trowell retired. In recognition of the contribution she made towards the development

of art, not only in Uganda but also beyond the region, the Art School was named after

her. The school‟s curriculum expanded in 1995 with the incorporation of Industrial Arts

courses. As a result, the School was upgraded to Faculty status with three departments

namely: Industrial Art and Design, Painting and Art History and Sculpture and

Drawing. MTSIFA has grown from a humble enrolment of 20 students in the 70s to the

current 400. MTSIFA has also diversified programmes to include Multi-media,

Industrial Arts and Design.

Established in the 1970s, the former Faculty of Technology started with the three

traditional disciplines of Civil, Electrical, Mechanical Engineering. Starting with an

initial in-take of 10 students, the former Faculty of Technology had expanded over the


4

last 40 years in scope to include the departments of Architecture, Construction

Economics and Management, and Surveying, as well as the service Engineering

Mathematics sub-department. The former Faculty of Technology, now slit into the

schools of Built Environment and School of Engineering has a total graduate and

undergraduate enrolment of over 2300 students. Similarly,

The academic staffing situation has continued to improve and, through an aggressive

staff development programme supported by Staff Development (Makerere University),

Carnegie, Sida/SAREC, NUFU and others more than 70 members of staff have trained

or are training for PhDs in various fields. CEDAT has a total academic staff

establishment of 160, but this is under review. This gives a student/staff ratio of 1:15.

Most of the academic staff positions are filled. Currently, of the 165 academic staff in the

College, 65 or 60% either hold or are training for PhDs. The Department of Construction

Economics and Management is expected to increase its establishment from 14 to 42,

given that they handle 3 degree programmes. Similarly, the Department of Electrical

and Computer Engineering will have its establishment increased up to 51 to cater for

the new programme in Telecommunications Engineering. The total CEDAT

establishment will be increased to more than 400 in the near future. Keeping the

recommended average staff/student ratio of 1:20, total enrolment may increase to more

than 8,000 students. This will necessitate conducting both day and evening

programmes.

Given the large number of highly qualified human resource, CEDAT has embarked on

an ambitious research programme and wishes to make a positive contribution to policy

and general development knowledge.

2. BACK TO THE FUTURE

2.1 University Vision To be the leading institution for academic excellence and innovations in Africa.

2.2 CEDAT Mission Statement

The mission of CEDAT is to undertake high quality research relevant to the region’s and global development needs and consequently produce highly qualified graduates with specialised skills but equipped with holistic knowledge, as well as Professional Services and Innovation for Sustainable National and Regional Development.

2.3 Achievements During Previous Strategic Planning Period The following were the key achievements during the previous strategic planning period:

Student enrolment increased from 800 to 2000 PhD programmes were launched 6 new undergraduate programmes were launched International links were enhanced Research culture was institutionalised Number of staff with PhD increased by from 16% to 40% of the staff Enrolment of female students to more than 25% Research and Technology Transfer centres were established

The factors which led to these achievements included the following:

Support of development partners including Sida/SAREC, NUFU, NORAD, Italian Government and others

Improved quality of staff Favorable employment climate for graduates Improved University policy on recruitment and promotion of staff

2.4 Major Shortcomings The major shortcomings included the following:

High staff turnover Limited laboratory exposure Limited number of publications in peer reviewed journals Insufficient practical exposure Low levels of remuneration

The following were the major constraints faced:

Unfavorable remuneration and employment terms Poor staff welfare Poor or obsolete laboratory equipment Inadequate laboratory space Insufficient field attachment Limited funding

2.5 Contextual PESTLE factors that might impact on the performance of CEDAT Context Features Prospects/challenges of the context features on

CEDAT

Political Cross border trade Globalization has led to a phenomenon of borderless higher education market. The key trend under this phenomenon is multinationalization arising from General Agreement in Trade in Services (GATS). With multinationlization, academic programmes from one country can be offered in other countries through a variety of approaches such as student mobility (exchange programs), program mobility and institutional mobility. CEDAT could greatly benefit from such arrangements with easy to transfer credit units.

Economic Economic/political Integration

The opening up of job and goods markets in the region has created stiff competition for jobs and markets. There is need to produce graduates who can be employed in all countries. Industry is also likely to send back their employees to universities for retooling through both short, tailor-made capacity building courses and other relevant credit programmes. This will demand creativity, innovativeness, and much closer collaboration with the public and private sectors; and use of more flexible learning options.

Poverty levels Poverty levels may hinder participation in CEDAT programmes. The College will need to proactively seek collaborations and partnerships that could offer scholarships to graduate students.

Government Funding/Support

This has remained the same despite increasing costs of inputs. The picture is unlikely to change in the foreseeable future. CEDAT is not immune to these challenges, which call for proactive and innovative leadership to diversify College sources of funding through partnerships, involvement of its alumni and networking with a cross-section of organizations and agencies.

Staff shortage Unattractive working conditions make it difficult to attract/retain highly qualified staff. Stronger linkages with providers of similar services will be required to fill the gap. The College will also need to deliberately work on growing its existing staff so as to improve the staff profile.

Social/Political Demand for Increased intake

The expansion of the school system will create demand for increased intake to Universities. The growing demand for higher education will create more physical

infrastructure constraints. Through Open Distance and eLearning (ODeL), CEDAT should be able tap

into this demand with limited added strain to the physical infrastructure.


7

Demand for increased research capacity

The increasing number of public universities provides Makerere, as the oldest university and CEDAT in particular, with opportunity to differentiate by specializing in research and graduate training, for capacity building to meet the national research needs.

Decentralisation policy

Liberalization of education and decentralization of services provides opportunity for the College to adopt and strengthen the ODeL services and by growing partnerships with the decentralized districts.

Political environment

The prevailing peace in northern Uganda and Southern Sudan will provide new catchment areas especially for ODeL programmes.

The East African Community

This presents an opportunity, because the citizens of the other states may prefer to study at Makerere University. The College therefore has opportunity to tap into this regional market.

Science and Technology

Eastern Africa Submarine System (EASSy)

The undersea fibre optic cable that will link the countries of East Africa to the rest of the world. This is going to increase Internet bandwidth and hence promote online and e-learning.

Mega changes Changes in the areas of nanotechnology, mechatronics, light and heavy current, Global Positioning Systems, Geographical Information systems, Remote sensing, new engineering materials and so on will be incorporated into the curricula. The College will have opportunity to research into these areas.

Emergence of Open Source learning Management Systems

Resources required to acquire proprietary systems will be saved for staff development. With the Makerere University e-Learning Environment (MUELE) which utilizes MOODLE (an Open Source Learning Management System), the College has opportunity to offer e-learning courses including e-degrees.

Legal Revised University and other tertiary institutions act

With the revision of the Act, Makerere should be better placed to move forward. CEDAT will also be better placed to play its role.

Environmental Sustainability The College is in a better place to address the major issues to do with the environment including global warming, global change.
